Fara, Kostel

Fara (pronounced [ˈfaːɾa]) is a settlement on the left bank of the Kolpa River in the Municipality of Kostel in southern Slovenia. The municipal administration is based in the settlement. The area is part of the traditional region of Lower Carniola and is now included in the Southeast Slovenia Statistical Region.

The local parish church is dedicated to the Assumption of Mary and belongs to the Roman Catholic Diocese of Novo Mesto. It is a large building with a triple nave that was built between 1858 and 1864 in the Neo-Romanesque style on the site of an earlier church. A second church in the village is dedicated to Saint Stephen and is a late 16th- or early 17th-century building that was refurbished in the 18th and 19th centuries.

    Freaky Styley

    by: Red Hot Chili Peppers

    Look at the turtle go, bro
    On a far away island of Salamasond
    I said, Yertle the turtle was king of the pond
    A nice little pond, it was clean, it was neat
    The water was warm, there was a plenty to eat
    Until one day, the king of them all
    Decided the kingdom he ruled, was too small
    ?I'm a ruler of all that I see but I don't see enough
    And that's the trouble with me?
    ?With this stone for a throne, I'm too low down
    I cannot look down upon the places beyond?
    So Yertle the turtle king lifted his hand
    And Yertle the turtle king gave a command
    He ordered all the turtles onto one another's back
    He piled them high into a ten turtle stack
    "Oh, Yertle the turtle, the things I now rule
    I'm king of a cow, I'm king of a mule"
    Look at the turtle go, bro
    Then down from below in the great turtle stack
    Came a burp from a plain little turtle named Mack
    Just part of the throne, this burpin' little turtle
    Looked up and said, "I beg your pardon, King Yertle"
    ?I've pains in my back, my shoulders and my knees
    How long must we stand here, Your Majesty?
    "Silence", the king of the turtles barked back
    To the bad burpin' little turtle named Mack
    ?I'm Yertle the turtle, oh marvelous me
    For I am ruler of all that I see?
    Yertle, Yertle the turtle
    Yertle, Yertle the turtle
    Yertle, Yertle the turtle
    ...
